Incorporating Planar Resistors in PCB Designs

Planar resistors can provide a means of improving space utilization in PCB design.

by Roy M. Signer, Engineering Dept. Manager, Ohmega Technologies, Inc., Culver City, Calif.

Since the technology to include resistor elements in printed circuit board (PCB) design was introduced in early 1972, designers have had the opportunity to fabricate either on the surface or inside PCB's to the exact requirements of the circuit. The methods used to design the resistor elements using this technology are essentially the same as those used in the hybrid circuit industry.

BGA Termination Alternatives

Planar resistor technology offers both design flexibility and proven reliability

by Bruce P. Mahler, Ohmega Technologies, Inc., Culver City, Calif.

The space constraints of high-density BGA footprints have generated widespread interest in planar resistor technology (PRT). Standard thin film design rules are used to create resistors that are either partial squares or multiple squares of resistive material. Standard series and parallel termination resistors have therefore been mostly rectangular in shape.

Thin Film Resistor Technology

by Bruce P. Mahler and Roy M. Signer

Single- and double-sided printed circuit boards have become multilayer packages with increasingly finer line widths and spaces, hosting greater through hole and interconnection densities. Newer substrate materials and different methods of component and circuit attachments have become necessary. More and more, the complexity, sophistication and demands of electronic systems are focusing an integration of logic, circuit and package designs.
